AN exchange says: "Wichita has
determined to either let the state exc
cute the prohibitory law or to permit il
to remain dead letter. The city coun.
Gil of that enterprising place has de-
cided that the police shall no longer in
terfere with the saloons there, but that
they may run on as heretofore. 1t is
evident that the public opinion OF
Wichita is not up to the prohibitory
sentiment of the rural districts"

TIE Chicago Tribune condense

TEE Chicago Tribune condenses a
great deal of common sense in the
following paragraph.
''There is really no lack of anti
poverty societies. They consist gen.
orally of a proprietor and an expert
assistant or two, and their mission is
to work against poverty by depriving
it of all its spare five and ten cent pieces,
poverty being in too many instances
willing to be thus deprived. Over the
doors that lead to the headquarters of
these societies may usually be found
some such motto as "Beer Saloon" If
poverty would save the $500, 600, 900 it
spends annually in sustaining these
societies it would be much happier and
better of in every way"

more trouble to me than any other cir

internal concerns of the country dur

RELYING to correspondent, Turf
Field and Farm says, contrary ia
popular belief, that the disease called
rabies Il more to be feared in cold than
in warm weather. 1t adds: During
the year 1865 the highest number OF
rabid or suspected dogs admitted tc
the veterinary schools of Lyons France
was in the months Of January and
February. We hear great deal about
mad dogs in August and July because
the human imagination is more heated
at that period than when the ground is
locked in frost. Many dogs are hunted
down as mad which have shown nc
signs of genuine rabies. When the
public mind shall become better in
formed, when ignorant prejudice shall
be stamped out, orders requiring dogs
to be muZZled in hot weather will be
Withdrawn, and timid people will not
be frightened out of their wits every
time they are approached by a friendly
canine"

TIKI REREL ROaRRR.

The following from the Dayton Jour-
mai hits the nail on the head:
The rebel Rosser of the University
of Virginia, who has made himself
ridiculous by advising his ex-confed-
crate friends and comrades in the val
ley of Virginia to be inhospitable to
General Sheridan when he re-vlsits that
classic region, adds to his bigotry the
folly of ignorance in making an unjusti-
fable Interpretation of Sheridan g vivid
description of the valley in 1S64-that
it it had been so ravaged that q crow
could not fly over it without carrying
his rations. What Sheridan clearly
meant was that it had been thoroughly
exhausted by both armies. AS a his
torical fact, the inhabitants, rebels az
they were, preferred the occupation of
their territory by the Union troops be-
cause they were more liberal and hui
name to them than the rebel armies.
The former did leave them them sub
sistence to keep them from starving
and supplied them when they were suf-
fering, but the rebel soldiers heartless-
~ robbed them even of the bacon fitch
that was hidden in their cellars. But
RosSer's letter is atrocious, and ought
to meet with eXecration even in the solid
south. But there is too much reason
to believe that he had the courage of
southern convictions, and expressed the
dominennt sentiment of the old ex-
rebels. What would be the commenta-
ry of southern opponents of opinion
should any prominent northern man or
journal avow such sentiments against a
proposed visitation by Governor FitZ-
hugh Lee, Senator Wade Hampton or
other distinguished ex-confederate, to
the classic field of Gettysburg? 1t
would be vehemently denounced as the
vilest bloody-shirtism. There ought
not to be a section of the map
of the nation that cannot be freely Wis
tied by every man in the country. But
it is disgraceful fact that hardly any
republican, unless he is protected by
some great official station or personal
eminence who dares to express his pol
itical sentiments anywhere in the south
as freely as he does at home. Nor is
there a spot in all the north where any
ex-rebel is denied the expression of his
political sentiments as freely as he may
in any southern capital or swamp. JEFF
Davis would be heard respectfully any

Better Production and Less Area.

Another subject worn threadbare, !"
says writer in an exchange, "but its
importance is so indisputable, and the
results of large plantations having in
ferior crops so disastrous, that the sub
iect will not be worn threadbare unit il
a new leaf is turned. The past summer
the writer spent some days among the
truck-growers in Norfolk (Va.) and
vicinity, and we saw there modes of
culture which would amply prove our
point to the most bigoted readers
mind. We claim that if less land is
devoted to the growing of fruits and
vegetables by the average grower, and
the time and labor spent in perfecting
the crops, that market-gardener and
fruit-growers would find their pocket
books heavier at the end of the season
than under the present regime. In
Norfolk we called on one grower who
had his one hundred twenty-five acres
planted to cabbage, spinage, straw
berries and raspberries. With the help
he employed it was an utter impos-
sibility to give these plantations the
culture requisite to the best crops, and
the result was quantities of inferior
fruits and vegetables, which, as matter
of course, brought low price in
market. This mans mistake, how
ever, was small compared with another,
who covered about the same area with
almost every conceivable crop which
could be grown in that climate. | was
not surprised that he was rapidly going
down hill, his farm saddled with an
enormous mortgage. 1t is of no use to
argue against this needed reform; it
must take place, for the day is past
when the market will pay good prices
for inferior fruits and vegetables simply
because they are edibles. The whole
question of overproduction, low prices
and the other formidable bugbears
which beset us at this time can be
solved by correct calculation on this
subject of better production on less
area than is now used. 1t must come
to this point sooner or later, and the
man who first turns into the right road
will be the one to quickest recover
his position"

Cows HOrns---Again.

In response to Dakota readers re-
quest, l will say: Take the horns,
whether the pith is in or not, and soak
them in hot (even boiling water till
the piths Gf in) will drop out with a
little rapping. Now the horns are
softened. Scrape them externally with
glass until they are thin, and then sand
paper them until they are smooth.
Bore two holes in the tops for hanging.
Then use embossed pictures for deco
rating, and to make them adhere well
use paste made of corn-starch and
flour. Lastly varnish them with white
varnish, which will bring out the colors
more brilliantly from the pictures, as
well as the shades in the horns. Sus-
pend them with fine brass chain or a
cord. Mrs. r. A. F., Keene, n. II.

The same lady sends us the fol-
lowing: "A delicious, as well as an
ornamental, way to prepare eggs for
the breakfast-table is to break the
whites and yoks separately. For a
family of four use six eggs, or more if
desired. Beat the whites stiff and
sprinkle in little salt. Then beat the
.yolks. Next butter well spider and
pour in the yolks, Immediately spread
ing over them the whites. Just let the
omelet well form and then cut through
the center, and with knife and fork
turn one-half over the other, thus
bringing the whites of the eggs in the
center and the yolks outside. Lay
nicely on platter and serve, cutting
the omelet off in slices"

To some extent winter should be a
season of rest to the farmer. When
the ground is covered with snow is the
period in which he should seek by rest
to strengthen himself for another sea-
sons work. Yet in this season of rest
plans for future operations can be fully
matured. There is a sufficient num-
Der of small jobs in repairing tools,
caring for the stock, etc, which will
keep both mind and body in an active
state and able to cope with the ques-
ton of how to improve my condition
and increase the money production of
my farm another year" Such work of
the mind, while resting the body, may
produce much good.
